Old kernels have a 'struct task_struct' which contains a "state" field
and newer kernels have "__state" instead.
While the get_task_state() in the BPF code handles that in some way, it
assumed the current kernel has the new definition and it caused a build
error on old kernels.
We should not assume anything and access them carefully. Do not use
'task struct' directly access it instead using new and old definitions
in a row.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
